If you think that water activities on our sunny island are limited to water theme parks like Adventure Cove and Wild Wild Wet, think again. Singapore is, in fact, home to a myriad of affordably priced water sports like wakeboarding and windsurfing – you won’t even need to travel to other countries to have a splash.
If you prefer to nua the day away, there’s even a lazy river with an entrance fee at the price of a Kopi O.
